    Some may try to make you believe that hemp is related to marijuana. But not even close. Hemp may be in a same family as the cannibis plants but thats about close as it gets.

    zero THC in hemp. if you are worried about false positives, eat poppy seed bagel or bread or muffin and take a drug test. They say you'll come up positive. I really don't know about the poppy seed. I do know that hemp will not give you a false positive.

    Um, no, "industrial" hemp is Cannabis sativa, one of the same species that gets you high. It's just a different strain that's bred for different properties - just like sweet corn, popcorn and field corn are all Zea mays. I would expect that food hemp and fiber hemp are different strains, too, though I don't actually know that.

    But what I said before - food products sold in the US cannot have any detectable THC, and the companies that produce them had to go through hurdle after hurdle to be able to import their product, so you can be sure that they are "clean."

    Hi oakleaf,

    So the interview I heard on Air America with a hemp milk producer from Canada who claimed zero THC is correct in one sense only, when she said "zero THC in our hemp milk". Otherwise they can't export it into US.

    Technically, the industrial hemp does contain trace amounts of THC. but its not zero as this spokesperson said.

    I know from talking with my parents, both Japanese, said "we can't understand why the Americans forced the Japanese to ban the growing of hemp. We don't smoke it. We make ropes, paper and other products. We don't have drug problem with hemp..." They scoffed at the thought smoking hemp. I know it produces wonderful fiber for rope, clothing, paper...

    And at 0.03% concentration, will you still test positive for THC? Don't think you'll can get high off that. Maybe CO poisoning if you tried. Either way, its pretty stupid.

    I just wiki'd for hemp. for some more information.. So thank you. Learned something this morning. heh. Never too old.
